Rack Adapter (RK-50R) - Used to install smaller machines in a standard 1 or 2 U rack. One or
more machines may be installed on each adapter.
BNC "Y" Connector - Used for looping purposes and splits the incoming signal to enable
connection of an additional machine.
Termination Plug - Used to terminate the line to 75ohm for proper matching.
A video or s-Video distribution amplifier – such as the Kramer VM-3V, VM-50V, VM-10ARII,
VM-20ARII (video), VM-3S, VM-50YC, VM-5YC, VM-10YC (s-Video) for distributing the
output signals to several acceptors simultaneously.
An Audio Distribution Amplifier – such as Kramer VM-50A, VM-80A etc. for distributing the
output signals to several acceptors simultaneously.
A line amplifier – such as Kramer VM-9S, 104L (video), VM-9YC, 103YC (s-Video), for
transmitting signals over long distances, minimizing cable losses.
VIDEO TESTER - A new, unique, patented, indispensable tool for the video professional, the
Video Tester is used to test a video path leading to/from an amplifier. By pressing only one touch
switch it can trace missing signals, distinguish between good and jittery (VCR sourced) signals,
and identify the presence of good signals. Whenever a video signal is missing- because of bad
connections, cable breaks or faulty sources- the Video Tester is all you need.
